We ran two Open Water Swimming groups for Women (one intermediate and one beginner) in September 2021. Duration the course of the programme participants learnt how to enter and exit the water safely, swimming techniques and how to swim safely and efficiently in an open water setting. They also learnt the different gear that is needed for swimming in the the open water. Two very experienced coaches led this programme and were extremely competent in teaching the girls and ensuring it was a fun, safe experience for all.

Amazing experience. Doing it in a group is the way to get started. Most importantly it gives courage and companionship
This was a very holistic short course, sociable, physical, thought provoking and immersed (in every sense of the word) in nature!
I would never have had the confidence to swim on my own in Castleconnell. The Programme opened up a whole new exercise option to me.
I haven’t swam in many years and it gave me an opportunity to return to it. I thoroughly enjoy the course.
